    Had the in-Laws over for dinner. It's a relief to have the house back. SiL's kids? La-la. They're getting out of control. They're kinda fun but I'm really glad not to have to look after them daily.

    Cooo-ee Spirit:hello:

    Hope you're getting a little better every day.

    When I scrapped the Punto, I got £200 for it, and your one is bigger so should be worth more. My general view is that Fiats are worth more dead than alive.

    When I scrapped the Astra, I got almost as much as I had paid for it 5 (or was it 6) years before!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I'll just have to see what I stumble across. The cost of cushions is horrendous - imho out of step with what you're getting ... so it'll be awhile before I stumble across something that [a] I like isn't expensive. No worries, I'm happy for it to be "as is" anyway.

    But you saved on the chair itself... so maybe you could splash out a little on a cushion?

    Awww - it is unsettling when good neighbours leave - and it's poor timing from her perspective.

    :(

    Neighbour who's SSTC said that if she'd met me before she'd decided to try to sell, she wouldn't have put the house on the market. That was quite a nice thing to hear :)

    I thihnk I've found the definition of bravery ( for me): I've posted on the Scotland thread.......I don't know wether I should re-visit or head to Trucknet, where the truckers are infinitely tamer.

    LOL - yeah, I think next door sold his because of who I bought from! He sold 2 days before I bought ... so he'll never know how great/quiet I am.
